This ‘Sonata for a Musical Clock’ is the first of seven pieces for the instrument by George Frideric Handel, written about fifteen years after he had moved from Germany to Britain, and copied into a manuscript in the early 1730s. A ‘musical clock’ was a small mechanical organ in which the pipes were operated by pins sticking out of a cylinder rotated by a clockwork mechanism. The tempo marking Tempo di minuetto indicates the fast three‑in‑a‑bar rhythm of the minuet, a familiar dance of the time. © 2018 by The Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music

‘Down to the River to Pray’ is a traditional American song which reached a wide audience when it was sung by Alison Krauss on the sound track of the 2000 film O Brother, Where Art Thou? It is associated with several different Christian traditions, but it seems to have been originally a spiritual sung by African-Americans in the southern States. The first known printed version of it appeared in a collection of Slave Songs of the United States in 1867. In the exam, the glissandi in bars 22 and 25 are optional. © 2018 by The Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music

Cantigas de Santa Maria (Ballads of St Mary) is a collection of 420 single-line songs written in the 13th century in the Galician-Portuguese language; the words and music are attributed to, but were probably only collected by, Alfonso X, king of Castile and León, known as ‘el Sabio’ (The Wise). The songs all describe miracles. No. 166 in the collection, arranged here, tells of the healing of a lame man. The melody has been arranged in a hemiola dance rhythm of alternating and time, that is with the quavers (at a constant speed) grouped: One two three four five six and One two three four five six in alternate bars. In the exam, the candidate should play part I. © 2018 by The Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music

Nicolò Paganini, born in Genoa in north-western Italy, was the most famous violin virtuoso of his time, and drew large, adoring crowds to his performances. He also learned the guitar early in his life, and enjoyed playing it on more private occasions. Alongside his numerous violin works, he composed many pieces for his second instrument, including solos, duos, trios and quartets. This Allegretto is the finale (the second of two movements) of the sixth in a set of 37 Sonatas for solo guitar. Source: autograph MS, Rome, Biblioteca Casanatense, MS 5608. The editor has added double-stemmed writing throughout to aid performance. The dynamics and D.C. al Fine are also editorial. © 2018 by The Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music

Bedrˇich Smetana’s Má vlast (My Fatherland) is a cycle of six symphonic poems for orchestra devoted to different aspects of the landscape, history and legends of the composer’s native Bohemia. The second and most popular of the six, composed in 1874, traces the course of the country’s principal river, the Vltava (in German, the Moldau), from its source and across the countryside until it flows majestically through the city of Prague. The river is represented throughout the work by a single theme, which appears here in an arrangement for solo guitar. © 2018 by The Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music

Napoléon Coste, the son of a soldier in the French army, initially learned the guitar from his mother. After moving to Paris, he became a pupil and friend of the great Spanish guitarist Fernando Sor, and established himself as a performer, teacher and composer. His playing career was cut short by a broken right arm, but he continued to publish compositions for the guitar. The Rondeau arranged here as a duet is from a set of 14 solo pieces entitled Récréation du guitariste (The Guitarist’s Recreation). It is in the rhythm of the gavotte, a dance that had been popular in the 18th century. In the exam, the candidate should play part I. © 2018 by The Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music

Panteleimon Michaeloudis is an award-winning guitarist and composer of Greek Cypriot origin who now lives in London. Having studied at the Royal College of Music in London, he then taught for several years at the RCM Junior Department. As well as music for guitar, he has also composed film scores and chamber music. He says about his newly written Nightfall that he has always been fascinated by ‘shades of light and darkness’, and in this piece wanted to evoke a ‘feeling of melancholy and stillness’. © 2018 by The Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music

Peter Wrieden is a British guitarist and teacher. He studied at Exeter University and then privately with the guitarist Craig Ogden. His Nine Ladies Dancing, published in 2010, is a collection of solo guitar pieces in dance styles. ‘Stomping’ indicates walking or dancing with a heavy rhythmic step; ‘the Blues’ indicates the insistent rhythms and melodic wavering between the minor and major third which are typical of the idiom. Although the composer’s metronome mark is q = c.150, students may prefer a more relaxed tempo, for example q = c.120. Additional dynamics and the poco rall. in bar 23 have been added by the composer for this edition. © 2010 Les Productions d’OZ from Nine Ladies Dancing All rights reserved. Used by permission.

Cole Porter was one of the most celebrated American composers of musicals in the mid-20th century; unusually, he wrote his own lyrics to fit his catchy syncopated melodies. His musical comedy Anything Goes, the hit of the 1934 Broadway season, is a story of romance and mistaken identity on a transatlantic ocean liner. The title song, humorously regretting a decline in moral standards, is sung by Reno Sweeney, a former evangelist turned night-club singer (a part originally played by the big-voiced Ethel Merman). The chorus begins on the upbeat to bar 19. In the exam, the candidate should play part I. * Page 16 may be photocopied to avoid the page turn. © 1934 Warner Bros Inc. © renewed WB Music Corp.

This ‘Sonata for a Musical Clock’ is the first of seven pieces for the instrument by George Frideric Handel, written about fifteen years after he had moved from Germany to Britain, and copied into a manuscript in the early 1730s. A ‘musical clock’ was a small mechanical organ in which the pipes were operated by pins sticking out of a cylinder rotated by a clockwork mechanism. The tempo marking Tempo di minuetto indicates the fast three‑in‑a‑bar rhythm of the minuet, a familiar dance of the time. © 2018 by The Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music

‘Down to the River to Pray’ is a traditional American song which reached a wide audience when it was sung by Alison Krauss on the sound track of the 2000 film O Brother, Where Art Thou? It is associated with several different Christian traditions, but it seems to have been originally a spiritual sung by African-Americans in the southern States. The first known printed version of it appeared in a collection of Slave Songs of the United States in 1867. In the exam, the glissandi in bars 22 and 25 are optional. © 2018 by The Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music

Cantigas de Santa Maria (Ballads of St Mary) is a collection of 420 single-line songs written in the 13th century in the Galician-Portuguese language; the words and music are attributed to, but were probably only collected by, Alfonso X, king of Castile and León, known as ‘el Sabio’ (The Wise). The songs all describe miracles. No. 166 in the collection, arranged here, tells of the healing of a lame man. The melody has been arranged in a hemiola dance rhythm of alternating and time, that is with the quavers (at a constant speed) grouped: One two three four five six and One two three four five six in alternate bars. In the exam, the candidate should play part I. © 2018 by The Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music

Nicolò Paganini, born in Genoa in north-western Italy, was the most famous violin virtuoso of his time, and drew large, adoring crowds to his performances. He also learned the guitar early in his life, and enjoyed playing it on more private occasions. Alongside his numerous violin works, he composed many pieces for his second instrument, including solos, duos, trios and quartets. This Allegretto is the finale (the second of two movements) of the sixth in a set of 37 Sonatas for solo guitar. Source: autograph MS, Rome, Biblioteca Casanatense, MS 5608. The editor has added double-stemmed writing throughout to aid performance. The dynamics and D.C. al Fine are also editorial. © 2018 by The Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music

Bedrˇich Smetana’s Má vlast (My Fatherland) is a cycle of six symphonic poems for orchestra devoted to different aspects of the landscape, history and legends of the composer’s native Bohemia. The second and most popular of the six, composed in 1874, traces the course of the country’s principal river, the Vltava (in German, the Moldau), from its source and across the countryside until it flows majestically through the city of Prague. The river is represented throughout the work by a single theme, which appears here in an arrangement for solo guitar. © 2018 by The Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music

Napoléon Coste, the son of a soldier in the French army, initially learned the guitar from his mother. After moving to Paris, he became a pupil and friend of the great Spanish guitarist Fernando Sor, and established himself as a performer, teacher and composer. His playing career was cut short by a broken right arm, but he continued to publish compositions for the guitar. The Rondeau arranged here as a duet is from a set of 14 solo pieces entitled Récréation du guitariste (The Guitarist’s Recreation). It is in the rhythm of the gavotte, a dance that had been popular in the 18th century. In the exam, the candidate should play part I. © 2018 by The Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music

Panteleimon Michaeloudis is an award-winning guitarist and composer of Greek Cypriot origin who now lives in London. Having studied at the Royal College of Music in London, he then taught for several years at the RCM Junior Department. As well as music for guitar, he has also composed film scores and chamber music. He says about his newly written Nightfall that he has always been fascinated by ‘shades of light and darkness’, and in this piece wanted to evoke a ‘feeling of melancholy and stillness’. © 2018 by The Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music

Peter Wrieden is a British guitarist and teacher. He studied at Exeter University and then privately with the guitarist Craig Ogden. His Nine Ladies Dancing, published in 2010, is a collection of solo guitar pieces in dance styles. ‘Stomping’ indicates walking or dancing with a heavy rhythmic step; ‘the Blues’ indicates the insistent rhythms and melodic wavering between the minor and major third which are typical of the idiom. Although the composer’s metronome mark is q = c.150, students may prefer a more relaxed tempo, for example q = c.120. Additional dynamics and the poco rall. in bar 23 have been added by the composer for this edition. © 2010 Les Productions d’OZ from Nine Ladies Dancing All rights reserved. Used by permission.

Cole Porter was one of the most celebrated American composers of musicals in the mid-20th century; unusually, he wrote his own lyrics to fit his catchy syncopated melodies. His musical comedy Anything Goes, the hit of the 1934 Broadway season, is a story of romance and mistaken identity on a transatlantic ocean liner. The title song, humorously regretting a decline in moral standards, is sung by Reno Sweeney, a former evangelist turned night-club singer (a part originally played by the big-voiced Ethel Merman). The chorus begins on the upbeat to bar 19. In the exam, the candidate should play part I. * Page 16 may be photocopied to avoid the page turn. © 1934 Warner Bros Inc. © renewed WB Music Corp.
